    Every time I see a map from this sub, I get monumentally confused for like 10 seconds like “wtf this can’t possibly be true.”

    Every time.

    This sub is the best.

        I’ll be dammed. The states shaded in blue allow underage drinking as long as you’re in your own home and in the company of an adult.

          Fun fact - in Wisconsin, you can legally drink in public if you are under 21 with consent and presence of a parent, legal guardian, or spouse, as long as they are over the legal drinking age. Regardless of your own age!

          Most non-rural establishments don’t actually allow it, even though the law does. It’s too messy from a liability standpoint. It’s not even something you are required to know to get a servers license.

            In Kansas it is the same unless the minor gets inebriated, in which case the adult is responsible for the intoxication.

            The reason for allowing parents (or guardians) to give their kids alcohol in public is so religious people can have their tiny cups of wine as part of their ceremonies without getting raided by the cops with a bonus for letting your high schooler have a beer after working on the farm as long as they don’t drunk.
